Him li I Safety-minded Redskins were guided to right methods of driving by Miss Theo B. Parr and Mr. Walter Floyd when Manual received her new dual-controlled Chevrolet last fall. Approximately 248 ' Skins bene- fited from the driver education course, which consisted of classroom driver educa- tion and behind-the-wheel driver training. After turning a few short corners and mak- ing some hair-raising stops, 52 completed the latter course. Realizing the importance of knowing and understanding history, both ancient and modern, Dolores Mabry, Bob Stadt- feld, Ed Frickenschmidt, Iris Carman, Isa- dore Hurwitz and Dorothy Steele received books from Mr. A. R. Williams. Don Foley won the extemporaneous speaking contest with Miss Steele as runnerup. Speaking on The Constitution: Guardian Of Our Liberties, Hurwitz won second place in the American Legion County Oratorical Contest. Pledged to promote high standards of conduct, help plan social and recreational activities, determine club, athletics, pub- lications and assembly policies and encour- age international and national citizenship, Monte O ' Connor accepted the presidency of the Student Affairs Board. He, in turn, installed his fellow officers of the board and all Manualites as members of the Man- ual Community. Dave Coppage has served as first vice president; Frank Mascari, sec- ond vice president; Ru Ann Cruse, secre- tary, and Gary Booher, treasurer. Relieving teachers of hall patrol, the junior class, at the suggestion of the Af- fairs Board, accepted hall duty as a project. The council also made it possible for Tepee Towners to enjoy movies and ping- pong during study and lunch periods, and chose and directed committees for the stu- dent center.
